Sheldon: "You know, Leonard, you actually have a valid idea; Very good!" Leonard: "Can you say that and not make it sound like I'm a cat who learned how to use the toilet?" Sheldon: "No; The two achievements are equally surprising and equally admirable; However, if pressed, I'd have to give a slight edge to the cat."

Raj to Leonard (IIRC): "Ok, don't go all alpha nerd on Sheldon's ass." Sheldon to Leonard regarding the utility of bus pants: "Perhaps from your lofty heights atop the corporate ladder, you've lost touch with the struggles of the common man." Sheldon to Raj: "Do you need some money to buy a less disturbing sweater vest?"

Sheldon upon being told that's it's ok to wait a day or two on getting a haircut (IIRC, I get plots confused): "Well, then, perhaps I should also begin wearing Birkenstocks and seeking validation for my opinions by asking, 'Can ya dig it?' "

I think they should give them all a fire starter, a pot, and some kind of knife. Then let then choose another item. Imo, even with those things it still wouldn't be easy. It gets a little sad and boring watching people sit around starving day after day.

Sam doesn't come across to me as relaxed anytime a camera is on him, but he appears to be a sweet kid and his voice is lovely, imo. He seems like the type who will likely get better with time and experience, I think. None of those who are left are really great actors, but then they didn't sign up for that. I'm referring to the the Ford commercials which are kind of cringe-worthy for me; but the Ford bits are not as bad as the Algonquin Round Table ...starring JenaNotGina and some other people. :)

I I wasn't trying to say that Sam needs braces. Not at all. I just wish he could be relaxed enough and comfy enough to really actually smile from happiness and joy. A smile that's real doesn't look like teeth stacked and lips pulled back, like at the dentist, as mentioned.

I feel shallow saying this, but is it just me? I have to ask. When Sam smiles (bless his heart) he opens his mouth and puts the bottom of his top teeth on the top of his bottom teeth....if that makes sense. I know what I'm trying to say. It's like he just stacks his teeth together and doesn't really "smile." Ok I'm going to hell.

You're not over thinking it imo. I hadn't thought of the lack of guitar. My mind immediately went to, "oh he's not under pressure or judgment." But yes, not having the guitar does ma sense to me. I noticed the camera work too. They could at least try to do the below pan camera shot when everyone is covered and fully clothed... you know... just to try to make it look not skeevy.

Beth! Woot! I say "woot" because I'm all classy and demonstrative like that hee. Welcome to the dark side... as I make beckoning hand gestures. :) I thought CJ sounded mostly in tune on his sing out. How is that possible? Is it that there was no pressure? We were puzzled here at the house.

THIS. So much word. I do not understand it either. It's puzzling. The pimpification of Jehna is gag-worthy though, imo.

So Mraz is the next mentor? I missed Ryan mentioning that. Interesting. Seems like that's Alex's wheelhouse and possibly deliberate by TPTB and to a lesser extent maybe semi-Sam's wheelhouse. If Slapout wasn't jaded before, I don't blame her if she is after these recent proceedings. Wow. I actively loathe Jen-na now. If I watched the show alone I'd change the channel when she shows her face, but my husband mocks her pronunciation of "love" = loaf, among other weird sounding words, and he can't stop himself. :) I just wish she'd sing normally and stop screeching. Additionally, this is a nit, but I really can't stand that "serious" pouty face she makes when the judges are bathing her. It's gag inducing. Alex was so sweet patting Jessica on the back before the announcement. I'm a sucker for sweet, humble, non-drama, "nice" people. Even though that could be said about Sam too in the nice kid department; But as someone mentioned, he's the blandest bland who ever toasted white bread ....with vanilla sprinkles. (Ok, I added the sprinkles.)

Wow. There are no words for how much I couldn't stand Jeh-na at that dinner. Shocker that CJ got to speak. As someone mentioned even when she speaks, imo too, she has some air of coming across as if she thinks she's all that. ("I've opened the show three times and it's so hard." or whatever the hell she said . Boo hoo. Caleb, imo, had a non-reaction to Underwood's tweet. I would have thought he didn't even hear it. He reacts loudly to things that aren't specifically about him ( ifsomeone speaks to the whole group, for example) so it's odd to me for him to seemingly have no reaction to a compliment. I didn't even see a small nod of acknowledgment. Maybe I blinked and missed it.

THIS. I can't stand her second-coming-of-Cher marble mouth and only Cher can do marble mouth and get away with it awesomely, imo. Whoever mentioned Jeh-na trying to be a 4 Non Blondes wanna-be was on the nose. I also wonder if she's trying to go Lorde on some arrangements/affectations. Oh the affectation. HCJ nailed it during her audition and it's only gotten worse. Holy Mother. JUST. MAKE. IT. STOP.

THIS. From your mouth..... And I say that as JLo fan, but she has pushed it lately with the Jeh-na tongue-bathing. GACK. At this point I'm firmly, "ABJ" for the win. Anyone But Jeh-na

JLo had to force herself not to chair dance during "Jolene." And Keith was straining not to chicken head too to the beat that he, "hated.". And JLo's looking at her arm goosies during Jeh-na's song made me gag. Jeh-na's affectations have now extended to her speaking. "Oy wooze tonts." (I was tense) Well oy wooze stabby.

Ok thanks. That makes me feel a little better. :)

How did Nene do a non-salsa and get the same score as Meryl? Am I confused?

THIS. And I also wonder if JLo will be wearing pants or a whole skirt.

Omg the coaster when Deacon visited (after the other dudes "moved out" and Doug stayed) was gold. And the way Doug fluffed the pillow and sat there with his legs crossed and fidgeted with his hands was too much. Bwahahah. The parody, if that's the word, of "Tuesdays with Mory" had me crying with the funny when Arthur wanted someone to, "chronicle his wisdom" and no one was interested. heh. Then he got desperate and called for Indian food delivery and he cornered the poor delivery dude who just wanted his money. "What's your name? " "SanJay" "Sinbad?" "Sanjay" "Sandjob?" I can't remember how it went exactly, but it was hilarious. I also loved the roast of Les Fisker, the stolen tv, and the motorcycle one.... so many. I even looked on the dvd for the name of the stripper pole song and it's not there. I looked on IMDB under music and extras. Not there. All I can hope is that someone recognizes it. I do need a life. :)

Omg, Random Chanceget out of my head! I FLOVE the stripper pole. And I was crazy looking for the name of that song Carrie had on the boombox. And Doug on the pole was kind of amazing! If anyone can tell me the name of that song... oh please. I love the hideous painting eppy too.... and the one at the lake and oh so many others. We had to stop watching and take a break because we were literally (yes, I said literally) saying the dialogue with the characters I love the one where Doug didn't eat dinner and went to Carrie's fancy party. I love the Kirstie eppy with Doug working in the Chinese restaurant. Is that the same eppy where the guys rented an apartment? This show is gold.

Amy: "I love, 'Little House;' I loved it so much as a kid I tried to milk my cat. .....A tangy bowl of Cheerios was not worth the stitches."

Ah.... the chicken head and shoulder push. Good times... good times. :)

Imo Nene looks like she's doing the same dance every week regardless of the dance assignment. Also, to me there seems to be a lot of posing and cheerleader arm movements. I would rather she go than Drew, but Drew seemed to have lost his joy that he started out with. IDK what happened, but I'm curious. I guarantee that NeNe bought the flowers and had Tony give them to her... or at least that's how it happened in my head. :) She should have given him flowers, imo, but what do I know.

I really liked the songs of the whole show. That rarely happens. I will, from here on, definitely work, "Stanky pimp face" into my vernacular.

Danica: "I love the way Val works me; He just drills me and drills me." :) Indeed, Danica. "I wanna dance with some BIE-dy" I missed Whitney's gorgeous voice on that song. Props to Redfoo for doing his own thing and not announcing his Motown heritage or carrying a big ole', "My dad is Berry Gordy" sign. I never would have known had I not read it here. Interesting. Now I like him. Hey, folks change their minds. hee. (OK, I'm a Motown freak.) But as the show went on, I found him enthusiastic and positive, so there's that.
